Twenty-one avid gardeners from our club visited the delightful garden and farm of Kelly and Ray Verdel on the 14th August. We saw a multi-family, production garden with rows of sweet corn, kale, green beans, and much more. The garden is partly watered by a homebuilt gravity-flow system, and Kelly uses no chemical pesticides. We also toured Kelly's outdoor (hot weather) canning kitchen (nicely provided with delicious snacks for our intrepid bunch), and goat, chicken, and pig facilities. It was an excellent evening, and I watched quite a few gardeners taking notes and pictures for future projects on their own farms. Many thanks to our tour guides: Kelly, and her sons Raymond and Beau.
